Hi Lloyd55vrs - not sure but those back wheels look to be outside the arches a bit - coppers could have a field day if they pulled you over for that I think  :peek:

That's alright. Lloyd only does about 50 miles a year. :D

 

How many you got on the odometer now, Lloyd?

Rims poke but the tyre tread is in the under arch loop hole ish :D

Mots say nothing :)

That would be my excuse for new wheels tho lol

That said it prob wouldnt be the wheels theyd be concerned with hehe

When not directly looking its abit more subtle tho
